Why would she end it if you thought you were ready to get engaged - that's 2 very conflicting views of the relationship?

She didn't end it outright, that's not really fair phrasing on my behalf. She's after something that I'm not ready for, and not sure I'll ever be ready for. It's something I'm moving towards, but can't say for certain I'll get there - and it's something that's really important to her.

We thought we could work it out, but it seems we can't.

Well just keep working towards whatever it is and try not to dwell on this too much - perhaps it ends up for the best...
